This is the first collection of narratives by practicing technical communicators telling their own personal stories about the workplace and their lives on the job. The authors portray a wide range of jobs: writers, editors, interface designers, marketing writers, and trainers working in 9 different technical fields, including software, R&D, engineering, medicine, transportation, and telecommunications. The stories vividly demonstrate the unique power of narrative as a teaching and learning tool. Unlike fabricated cases, these real-life narratives show new and veteran technical writers at work on the job, dealing with tasks, clients, and co-workers, and revealing their insights, values, and attitudes about their work. The stories also show the skills required in the profession and the ethical and other issues raised in the course of the workday. For anyone interested in technical communication and professional writing.

Technical communicators prepare instruction manuals, how-to guides, journal articles, and supporting documents to communicate complex and technical information more easily. Skills emphasized in technical writing are clarity, accuracy, and the ability to make complex materials easier to follow, usually step-by-step. The result of technical writing and communicating is to solve problems, achieve measurable results, and make it possible for the reader to follow the instructions. Technical writing varies from writing instructions on how to assemble a device or make it work and know how to shut off and put on the power to making instructions user-friendly by making the complex easier to understand. Technical writers/technical communicators also develop, gather, and disseminate technical information through an organization's communications channels. And technical writers may design, create, and present public relations and promotional materials, advertising copy or infomercials. A corporate communications director works with technical writers and illustrators to promote and present corporate publications or video. And a digital communications specialist writes promotional materials for corporations about corporations and researches/presents writing and images about a corporation's achievements or news digitally also to social media. Liberal Arts colleges and universities produce more English majors with B.A.'s and M.A.'s each semester than any other humanities major graduating with highest grades, and in some schools of Education and liberal arts, many of these graduates include students seeking alternative careers to teaching or editing fiction, plays, and entertainment scripts.Some graduates wish to have careers in journalism, public relations, marketing, and advertising in the creative end, perhaps as creative directors working with artists with similar career plans. With the increasing evolution of technology, more jobs are opening for those interested in technical, medical, health/nutrition, science, and marketing writing for technical and/or scientific firms.
